Experiments On The Choice Of Features For Learning Verb Classes

رشد جنبه معنایی فعل در کودک فارسی‌زبان: مطالعه طولی

Objective Learning “verb” as one of the main components of sentence, has been always a debatable topics in the process of language learning. One of the important issues in “verb” learning is determining its meaning using syntactic clues and learning its semantic aspects. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to examine the development of the semantic aspect of ...

The Effect of Using Keyword Method on EFL Learners' Learning and Retrieving English Verb Types

This study used keyword method during encoding information in transferring information from short term memory to make the retrieval easier. For this purpose, 50 adult female elementary students were chosen to participate in this study. This study required two groups of learners (control and experimental groups).

Verb Classification – Machine Learning Experiments in Classifying Verbs into Semantic Classes

This paper presents the results of our machine learning experiments in verb classification. Using Beth Levin’s semantic classification of the English verbs as a gold standard, we (i) test the hypothesis that the syntactic behavior of a verb can be used to predict its semantic class, and (ii) investigate whether a robust shallow parser can provide the necessary syntactic information. With 277 ve...
